I have never quite fit the definition of "main stream" in my gun selections. Most of what I've owned and own are odd ducks.

Embarrassing gun? Maybe the closest I ever came to that was a used 60's vintage Weatherby .300 Magnum, all the bells and whistles and gaudy as all get-out. I got it home and said to myself "whatinhell were you thinking?" Flipped it right quickly for a decent profit. Phew!!
